A bus caught fire on the Sydney Harbour Bridge - expect long delays leaving the city

A bus has caught fire on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, closing northbound lanes.

The blaze has already been extinguished by fire crews, but the road closure as emergency crews prepare to clean up the destroyed Sydney Buses vehicle is likely to cause traffic chaos and long delays as workers attempt to head out of the city during peak hour.

SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE: STAY AWAY FROM THE BRIDGE. All northbound lanes and 2 citybound lanes of bridge are CLOSED. https://t.co/jiP5lD17aK
